For nearly 60 years, the National Capital’s venerable Southway Hotel has distinguished itself by exceeding the accommodation and culinary needs of generations of overnight visitors, meeting delegates and diners while playing a prominent role in Ottawa South’s social and economic evolution. Moving forward, that mission will be modified in a dramatic and progressive new way… the Zlepnig family, the owners of The Southway Hotel, announced today that the landmark property at the corner of Bank and Hunt Club will be transformed into the newest member of the family owned and operated brand of Waterford Retirement Residences.

Opening in January 2016, the Waterford Retirement Residence - Ottawa, will set the standard for luxury while providing affordable full service lifestyle experiences for those who are seeking independent, enhanced care or memory care living opportunities. Following a $6 million transformation that begins in July, the Ottawa property will offer 115 elegant suites for lease complete with lavish amenities and an array of elite features and services that have become synonymous with the Waterford brand...

It will be The Retirement You Live For® and for those interested, inquiries can be made to the Waterford Ottawa’s marketing office at 613-737-0812, Ext. 198.

It should be noted that during the construction and transition period from July 1st to the end of 2015, the Southway Hotel will continue to operate 75 guestrooms. Reservations can be made online at www.southway.com or by calling 1-877-688-4929.
